1974 Not so standard MG BGT SOLD

This car has had a full rebuild about 20 years ago, During the rebuild, extensive modifications were made. In line with MG car club competition rules, as a club event racer. The engine was "blue printed" lightened, and balanced. The head is a stage 3 big valve head, a stage 2 race cam was fitted, along with the DCOE Webber, 3 branch exhaust, into a big bore SS silencer, and set up to run on unleaded fuel. Race oil cooler with braided metal hoses and an uprated multi core radiator. New facet fuel pump and Race battery isolator switch behind drivers seat. All this gives 100 BHP at the wheels. The suspension has been lowered, rear telescopic shocks, silicon bushes all round, and an anti- roll bar at the front. All of which makes this an exceptional car to drive. There is no antique roly-poly handling. When you put it into a corner, and put your foot down you get the real joy of classic rear wheel drive sports car. The seats are black leather, and all the trim is in good condition. The body has been extensively wax oiled, and heavy duty black under sealed. The wings are fiberglass, and have plastic wheel arch inserts. Structurally it is very sound, there is starting to creep in superficial rusting of the rear wheel arches, and door skins. The joint between the fiberglass wings and the scuttle are also starting to blister.
There is a dent on the very front of the bonnet where some oaf leant on it to shut it.
As I said…. An Oaf.
This car is NOT in mint condition but it is exceptionally sound. In the near future unless raced it will need to be re-painted. If you are looking for either a step into classic car racing or a base for a restoration this is the car for you.
Just MOT`d and serviced. New oil, oil filter, plugs, points, condenser, rotor arm, cap and leads. New tank sender unit (which works). New rear suspension check straps have been fitted and the head lamps have been converted from sealed beam units to halogen bulb units. Then the car was sent to Larton Engine Developments to be set up on the dino.
  Overall this is an exceptionally sound car, not to be confused with shambling asthmatic vehicles, on offer. The only thing this car needs is T. L. C. and time.
The car is now on Historic taxation (£000. 00) and with fully comprehensive insurance less that £100. 00 per year it is quite simply the cheapest vehicle I have ever owned and it always puts a smile on your face when you drive it.
Unfortunately, other ventures and lack of use has made me realise that it`s time for the MG to go. Having covered only 68400 miles.
The car will come with a few spare parts that i`ve accumulated over the years, at no extra cost.

This is a nice MG TF in a good colour combination and it comes with a hardtop.<br><br>It drives really well and has had the all important headgasket done. However there is a noisy tappet on the engine. It doesn't spoil my enjoyment of the car, it drives really well.<br><br>
